Mapster

Mapster is a very simple world map enhacement addon, which was designed to work in conjunction with all other map addons out there. The idea to create Mapster originated from pure lack of a simplistic addon that only modifies the world map, without adding a full scale feature set.

Features

Map Style (Scale & Alpha)

Coordinates

Fog of War removal

Enhancement of the raid/party group icons

You can access the Mapster configuration menu through the new button on the world map, as shown in the screenshot.
All features (except the style) can be turned off individually if you do not need/want them.

What am i missing? I see the Mapster button on my smaller world map top right area. I can see options so I know it installed correctly. But there is no change to the large Blizz map which is what I was hoping to shrink wit this. The smaller map also has Mapster coordinates showing up at bottom, but the map is very much default Blizz map with default look, feel and stubborn attachment to left side annoying the heck out of me.

Hi, I've been using Mapster for a very long time, and I've recently noticed two things...

1) Mapster used to have the ability to hide the border of the "minimized" map, but that option seems to have been removed with the updates to Legion. Will we be getting that option back? Being able to hide the border and have the faded edges of the map was one of the main reasons I have used Mapster all these years, and I'd love to see it make its return because it gave the map such a clean appearance.

2) The disable mouse interactivity option does not seem to be working in either minimized mode, or full-scale mode. Even after enabling the option and doing a /reload in game, I am still able to interact with everything, including changing zones.

Is there a way to lock the map in either large or minimized positions. I would like to move both the large map and the minimized map to a different spot but it wont let me. Right now its locked in a spot and no matter what I do it just stays in the same spot.
